Nightmare...

The Memorial Service for my grandmother was last night. It turned out to be a nightmare. All I can say is that I am glad it is all over and I don't ever have to see any of that family again, they are hateful and rude and selfish. Now if I could just quit thinking about it, I might be able to keep my sanity.

Aaaa! How awful that you all couldn't just have a nice memorial for your grandmother. Well..you're home now and can just move forward. I wish it were easier to stop thinking about things that aren't productive...if I was any good at it I'd give you some pointers on how to do it.

I wish I could give you a big hug right now and just...settle down and love on you. You are so special...and...I'm just so sorry that your are hurt. I love you a ton...and just...sigh...hang in there. :)

What I have found helps me get my mind off my own troubles is to do something for someone else. What I usually do is make cookies and bring them to work or send them to some of the college kids from church or something. Then I get to bake (which I find thereapeutic) AND I get to cheer people up.

It may take some time, but another gift God gives us (that you left out of your Thursday 13) is that of forgiveness! I'm sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing. Hopefully in time you can come to terms with the awful family and forgive them of their boorishness. (That's not to say I feel you should try to spend more time with them!) As laura said, its not productive to dwell on things you can't change. Easier said than done!
